The goal of this project was to identify operational
modifications, and assess the feasibility of delivering
protracted MR-guided prostate hyperthermia with a
commercial endorectal ablation array.
Hyperthermia-specific sonications were imple-mented on
ExAblate 2100 prostate phased array ablation system and
performed on a tissue-mimicking phantom. Tem-perature
monitoring was performed on a 3T MRI scanner using a
spoiled gradient echo sequence. These experiments
illustrate the ability to successfully employ
hyperthermia specific beamforming to control the shape
of energy deposition, to deliver long duration power
output with the ExAblate 2100 prostate system, and to
monitor the resulting heat generation with MR
thermometry.
